Keith Ryall
Reflections based on Keith Ryall’s perceptions of a Ben ( Mojo ) Crowe Masterclass in Personal Leadership.
He talked about 3 Key Mindsets….
- The Connection Mindset-connect with ourselves before we connect with the outside world. ( The only person I can control 100% of the time is myself.) Beware the FOOPO syndrome….the Fear of Other Person’s Opinions. Think….””I don’t care what people think about me but I do care about what I think of them.”” So let go of other people’s views….Stop Doing and Start Being….write a To Be list, as well as a To Do list. ( e.g., Be Grateful, Be Kind etc )
- Develop a Purpose Mindset-what do I want in life? The 2 most important days in your life…the day you were born and the day you find out Why! What is my Why? What is it that excites me about helping others? What do we really stand for? What will be my own personal Legacy? Move from I thinking to We; from Resume to Eulogy?
- Develop a Performance Mindset….life itself is a Performance but we get so distracted by what we can’t control. Accept that there are things we can’t control so focus on the things we can control. As Viktor Frankl wisely said in his book, Mans Search for Meaning….The last of the human freedoms is to choose one’s own reaction , regardless of circumstances.
There are many free You Tube clips of Ben Crowe’s thoughts on Personal Leadership; just do any Google Search and they should pop up. Some are called Mojospresso and are in many Episodes-most are short and punchy; e.g., Episode 13-Finding Purpose runs for 11 minutes.

Topic today is “Crime in Carlton – a snapshot”
The 1850s saw gold discovered in Victoria. All types of people were attracted to Carlton from interstate and overseas as people headed to the Ballarat and Bendigo goldfields. Many left jobs to search for gold even members of the Police force. South Carlton with less police attracted many law breakers. The St Kilda Convict Centre released prisoners and many former prisoners from Tasmania also made their way to the area.
In the mid 1880s Carlton saw poverty and hardship conditions. Prostitution thrived in the laneways and alleys, parlours, hotels and boarding houses. Larrikins (both young men and women) were attracted to the Gangs where pickets and chairs were used as weapons in battle. Disturbances, drunkenness and violence were rampant keeping police active.
In the 1920s police cars were fitted with wirelesses helping alleviate some crime – this was the time of Squizzy Taylor and his associa
